New University Ranking

A ranking of world universities has placed Leicester in the UK top 20 and 226th in the world.

The 2017 CWUR World University Ranking is the largest academic ranking of global universities. This year, 27,770 degree-granting institutions of higher education worldwide were evaluated, among which the top 1000 research-intensive institutions received rankings.

The rankings measure the quality of education and training of students as well as the prestige of the faculty members and the quality of their research without relying on surveys and university data submissions.
